Hello everyone
Thank you for your interest for Open Terms Archive. As a reminder, OTA is the database of all ToS and their modifications for all companies in the world, in all languages, for all countries. Everything in a format that can be easily used to create applications.
We have updated our privacy policy, thank you for pointing out that it was not complete. The only personal data we record is the email of a person who subscribes to the email notification service for changes to a document of their choice.
As mentioned below, it is perfectly possible to follow the modifications of a document without giving your email address:
- by RSS feed https://github.com/ambanum/OpenTermsArchive#by-rss
- by browsing the repository https://github.com/ambanum/OpenTermsArchive-versions
@indus: very nice idea to store your privacy policy in github!

Read the rest
tared, @barredo: also a good idea, we will add, upon selection of service and document type, a direct link to github story see all changes. This way you can get a good idea of what you might receive by email if you decide to subscribe
@cdubzzz: awesome, we will add the services you used to track on https://github.com/cdubz/legal-copy-histories/tree/master/hi...
@jvolkman: very cool indeed but we have decided to not take their word for it
@remram, thanks for the tip, we will contact them. We also already work with https://tosdr.org/
@tcmb, if you have any problem while adding a document on OTA, you can join us anytime at contact@opentermsarchive.org
If you want to help us, you can :
- Add or edit services and documents via a Pull Request on Github (read our documentation about it: https://github.com/ambanum/OpenTermsArchive/blob/master/CONT...). You can also use the contribution interface (https://opentermsarchive.org/en/contribute) which is useful for people who don't know Github (but it doesn't work for all sites).
- Build tools from the dataset (https://github.com/ambanum/OpenTermsArchive-versions/release...) or the API (https://disinfo.quaidorsay.fr/api/open-terms-archive/docs). As an example we have built Scripta Manent (https://disinfo.quaidorsay.fr/en/open-terms-archive/scripta-...), a tool that allows to compare a document between two dates.
- Improving our source code (https://github.com/ambanum/OpenTermsArchive): our biggest task is to add document tracking in several languages and jurisdictions, which is far from being an easy task.
- Raise awareness of the project and help us find funding so that OTA can continue to develop and become a digital commons.
- Follow us on Twitter @OpenTerms where we post changes to documents that we find interesting.
Thank you !
